Mitsubishi Materials unit hid data fabrication to avoid damages claims: report

I don’t buy Japanese products now. All break in one year. But my cars seem ok.

re: Mitsubishi Shindoh's president and vice president will return part of their remuneration

What the, they knowingly committed fraud that they should be forced to pay back al remuneration and not gain a profit at all even if half for knowingly cheating. The quality made in Japan has been getting kind of shady and harder to come about and just when I'm doing my best not to buy the made in China junk, now have to watch out for made in Japan.

@bjohnson23 - I'm doing my best not to buy the made in China junk,

At least you know it's junk and you are getting it cheaply, unlike paying top dollar for Japanese junk!

Fraud on a massive scale... why are these guys not in jail... this is massive!

bowing will solve everything...

Made in japan. Oh dear...

Ah, made in Japan! And made in Japan system, too, where people like these can "have part of their renumeration held" after committing FRAUD! ZERO punishment here. ZERO.

Those Mitsubishi executives look like they're getting ready to dive in at a pie-eating contest.

Having spent my life in manufacturing of all kinds, I do not understand how professionals could do such a thing.

Have they no personal integrity?

That is clearly a sincere apology. Can we all forget about it and move on to something else now? It's only about falsifying data on safety. What's the worst that could happen?

If no such news come from other foriegn global companies, does it mean that such things never are taking place internally? clear ur head off. later or sooner at least they have accepted and oppologizing..respect to the sincerity seem to be reasonable..I personally find the Japanese way of management most honest...

This is very regrettable!!!!

These people clearly know they were doing wrong but they can just now deeply and offer a “sincere apology “ and it’s back to gaining the trust of the consumers until the next scandal...

Not on their knees on the floor in a dogeza, like the Green Cross execs did when they admitted to selling AIDS-contaminated blood. But that was to the known mother of a dead patient, not nameless customers and vendors.
